3. IN YOUR OWN WORDS How can you describe the graph of the
equation ax + by = c ?
4. Activities 1 and 2 show two different methods for graphing ax + by = c.
Describe the two methods. Which method do you prefer? Explain.
5. Write a real-life problem that is similar to those shown in Activities 1 and 2.
6. Why do you think it might be easier to graph x + y = 10 without rewriting it
in slope-intercept form and then graphing?
Use what you learned about graphing linear equations in standard
form to complete Exercises 3 and 4 on page 176.

Standard Form of a Linear Equation
The standard form of a linear equation is
ax + by = c
Study Tip
where a and b are not both zero.
Any linear equation
can be written in
standard form.

Graph −2x + 3y = −6.
Step 1: Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
−2x + 3y = −6
Write the equation.
3y = 2x − 6
Add 2x to each side.

Divide each side by 3.
y = —x − 2

Graph x + 3y = −3 using intercepts.
Step 1: To find the x-intercept,
substitute 0 for y.
To find the y-intercept,
substitute 0 for x.
x + 3y = −3
x + 3y = −3
x + 3(0) = −3
0 + 3y = −3
x = −3
y = −1
Step 2: Graph the equation.

You have $6 to spend on apples and bananas. (a) Graph the equation
1.5x + 0.6y = 6, where x is the number of pounds of apples and y is the
number of pounds of bananas. (b) Interpret the intercepts.
a. Find the intercepts and graph the equation.
